国际英语新闻:Fallout from Big JPMorgan Chase Loss Begins

The fallout has begun from a $2 billion financial trading loss at the U.S.-based JPMorgan Chase investment company.

The firm said Monday that Ina Drew, JPMorgan's chief investment officer and one of Wall Street's highest paid female executives, is retiring. The company paid her $29 million in the last two years for her profitable investment trading decisions.
